How to Draw a Nice Flower

In this tutorial Iâ€™m going to teach you how to draw nice flower just like the ones below!

First of all letâ€™s create a new document in Photoshop. For this tutorial Iâ€™m using size of500x500 px with all of the default settings. Select some appropriate colors, for example colors of #ccea01, #507502 and drag a radial gradient.

Now begin to create flower petals. Do this by using Pen Tool. I prefer to choose the color of#35d5e6.

Use Layer > Rasterize > Shape to rasterize all of flower petals. Select Burn Tool (Range: Shadows, 50%) to make dark spots on the petal.

Do the same thing with other petals.

Now apply Dodge Tool (Range: Highlights, 20%) to every layer. Your image should look as below:

Time to bring some patterns to flower. Get out the Custom Shape Tool and select Grass 2 Shape (this is standard shape).

Use color of #001c86 to get the picture as below:

Make the same thing with other petals. Rotate every pattern with Edit > Free Transform Path.

Set opacity to 30% up for every pattern.

Now I would like to make the flower surface â€˜heterogeneous.â€™ For this effect merge all layers of flower in one, then create a new layer fill it with black color and apply Filter > Noise > Add Noise with similar settings to these:

Change layer mode to Overlay for this layer and set opacity to 50% up.

Go to layer with flower Right click the Layer Thumbnail in the Layers Palette. Then go back to the â€˜heterogeneousâ€™ surface layer and press Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection, then press Del to clear selected area. Remove the selection with Select > Deselect. After that actions get out the Eraser Tool and a soft round brush (opacity about 50%, size of 45 px) and make clear bright parts of petals.

Now select Smudge Tool and a soft round brush (opacity 30% and size of 150 px) and make and smudge a little bit every petal from the end to the centre to get the picture as below:

You image should look as mine:

Ok, now merge all layer of flower in one again and press Ctrl+D to duplicate layer. Then diminish and rotate the lower copy with Edit > Free Transform.

I think itâ€™s time to add receptacle to our flower. Now youâ€™ll want to begin with creating receptacle of the flower. For this get out the Brush Tool with the next presets:
